  • 2021 Voting Record
    The 2021 Legislative Session Montana's biennial legislative session is always a top MFPE priority because decisions made there profoundly affect members' pocketbooks and professions. The 67th session was unique due to the global COVID-19 pandemic and a single political party controlling both the legislative and executive branches, but MFPE members were undaunted. Nearly 3,000 MFPE members and staff joined the first-ever Rapid Response Team of member-lobbyists. They attended statewide virtual meetings throughout the session and sent tens of thousands of messages to legislators via texts, emails, and phone calls. These efforts were crucial in asserting MFPE's strength and reach. Because MFPE members engaged like never before, we successfully beat back five union-busting bills all directed at undermining the ability of Montana workers to belong to and participate in a union. Our collective efforts also secured several legislative victories including the quick and bipartisan approval of the state and university employee pay plan and funding for public education and services, state agencies, the Montana University System, and Community Colleges. Through the Rapid Response Team, MFPE members successfully advocated for bills to stabilize the Sheriff and Highway Patrol pensions and fought to defeat an assortment of bills that would have destroyed the Teachers’ and Public Employees’ Retirement Systems. MFPE members and staff mobilized to defeat a parade of bad ideas: a private charter school bill; private school vouchers to divert money from public schools to private schools; voter suppression; and bad tax policies that defund public services while giving tax breaks to the ultrawealthy. Despite our best efforts, some bills with harmful consequences for MFPE members became law.

Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, and House Minority Leader McCarthy: We are writing you today to urge you to reject the “For the People Act” otherwise known as H.R. 1 or S. 1, which is a dangerous overreach by the federal government into the administration of elections. Each state legislature should have the freedom and flexibility to determine practices that best meet the needs of their respective states. A one-size-fits-all approach mandated by Congress is not the solution to any of our problems. These bills intrude upon our constitutional rights, and further sacrifice the security and integrity of the elections process. We firmly believe the authority to legislate and regulate these changes should be left with the states. H.R. 1 and S. 1 blatantly undermine the extensive work we, as election officials, have completed in order to provide safe, accessible voting options for our constituencies.

  • Montana Governor Response
    OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR STATE OF MONTANA STEVE BULLOCK MIKE COONEY GOVERNOR LT. GOVERNOR August 28, 2020 The Honorable David Bernhardt Secretary of the Interior U.S. Department of the Interior 1849 C St. NW Washington, DC 20240 Dear Secretary Bernhardt: Thank you for your letter regarding the proposed National Garden of American Heroes and the request for potential locations, statues, and recommendations of Montana heroes. Montana has an abundance of public lands and spaces as well as heroes that we cherish and are worth considering as your Task Force contemplates the National Garden. I am aware that Yellowstone County, our state's largest county by population has put forward a thoughtful proposal that I hope will be given your full consideration. I would suggest that as you further develop selection criteria for the location and the heroes to include in the garden that you undertake a more robust consultation effort with county, tribal and local governments, as I am sure that other localities in the state may have an interest but may not be aware of the opp01iunity. Should Montana be chosen for the National Garden, my administration would be happy to assist with identifying further potential locations within the state, connecting you with local officials, as well as identifying any existing statues for the garden. The Big Sky State has a long, proud history dating well before statehood of men and women who have contributed greatly to both our state and nation. To provide a comprehensive list of Montanans deserving recognition would be nearly impossible. However, I have consulted with the Montana Historical Society, and they have recommended a short list, attached, of Montana heroes who would represent our state and its values well.
